Summer Chase has already loved and lost once and she has no intention of going through that pain again. But when a hunky Camaro-driving P.I. shows up at her B & B looking for a room for the week, she sees something more than a hard-bodied guest. For the first time since her husband’s death, Summer’s sexual interest is awakening, and she’s not about to hit the snooze button!

Gage Knight is a P.I. in desperate need of a vacation. His impromptu trip to Cape May, New Jersey, seems just what he needs to relax and unwind. But when he knocks on the door of Chase’s Bed & Breakfast and comes face to face with sexy owner, Summer Chase, relaxing drops to the bottom of his to-do list. Now all he wants is a tasty Summer treat, and he plans to take his time, savoring the curvaceous beauty one inch at a time.

Question is…can she watch Gage drive off into the sunset when the week comes to an end?

He’s not looking for love. She needs an extra boarder to make the bills. Does it hurt that he’s hot as all get out, and she’s not bad on the eyes as well? Not one bit.

I know when I get an Anne Rainey book, I am in for a hot time. What She Wants doesn’t disappoint. In fact, it goes above and beyond. The characters are realistic and engaging. I felt like I was there on the shore with the both of them, falling for each of them. The descriptions are rich enough I could see Gage and Summer in my mind. I didn’t want to put this book down.

I liked the idea of the story. Her husband died over two years prior and her reaction to men has been nil. I can relate. Sometimes its hard to move on after tragedy. She’s still a woman in her prime, but hey, even loners get lonely for the person who makes them tick.

And Gage? He’s a little rough around the edges, but very much sexy. I wanted to see him in person. I loved his inner struggle. He wants her, no doubt, but when things get deeper than he wants... its nice to see him squirm a bit. He wants to love her, but how does a somewhat prickly, forthright guy admit his feelings? Hey, you need to pick up a copy of this book to find out.

The sex scenes are steamy. I had to check my screen to make sure it hadn’t melted. Yeah, these were scenes I went back and read over again to savor.

If you want a book that sizzles and makes you think, then you need to read What She Wants. It’s sure to make your keeper shelf, because it’s on mine. I give it 4.5 cherries.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star -- At this time, we at Whipped Cream do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars -- Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy- and never check out again.

3 Stars -- Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars-- Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review this book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars -- Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

WC Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
